Perhaps a bit mean doing this to people who are as much victims as perps -
they're usually on lousy minimum wages with little rights. In other
countries they may be on commission only. Yes, they shouldn't be doing it,
but they're not evil, just unfortunate.

Don't forget that some loudness limiters don't work, or are not fitted, and
so you risk causing permanent injury to someone.

Well, they're not paying, the company they work for is.

Wasting the company's time is fine, being rude to poorly paid workers for
that company is sub-optimal.
